Per Capita Rates

Under the ɬÀï·¬ Constitution, ɬÀï·¬ school districts and charter schoolsÌýreceiveÌýpayments from the Available School Fund (ASF) forÌýall enrolled eligible students. The ASF is primarily made up of revenue generated by bothÌýthe state's fuel tax and the Permanent School Fund.Ìý

DistrictsÌýand charter schools receiveÌýthese "per capita"Ìýpayments based onÌýprior-year average daily attendance (ADA). The payment rate per ADA (the distribution rate) is adopted each year by the State Board of Education.

The ASF serves as a method of finance for the Foundation School Program (FSP). Thus,Ìýthis source of revenueÌýhelpsÌýwith the state's FSP payments to school districts and charter schools.ÌýThis is not additional revenue.

All districts, regardless of property wealth, are eligible to receive ASF funds.ÌýÌý
